| Function | Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class II molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class II peptides are derived from extracellular proteins while class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class II presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kinase LCK to the vicinity of the TCR-CD3 complex. LCK then initiates different intracellular signaling pathways by phosphorylating various substrates ultimately leading to lymphokine production, motility, adhesion and activation of T-helper cells. In other cells such as macrophages or NK cells, plays a role in differentiation/activation, cytokine expression and cell migration in a TCR/LCK-independent pathway. Participates in the development of T-helper cells in the thymus and triggers the differentiation of monocytes into functional mature macrophages. (Microbial infection) Primary receptor for human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1). Down-regulated by HIV-1 Vpu. Acts as a receptor for Human Herpes virus 7/HHV-7. |
| Cellular Localization | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Localizes to lipid rafts. Removed from plasma membrane by HIV-1 Nef protein that increases clathrin-dependent endocytosis of this antigen to target it to lysosomal degradation. Cell surface expression is also down-modulated by HIV-1 Envelope polyprotein gp160 that interacts with, and sequesters CD4 in the endoplasmic reticulum. |
| Domain | The Ig-like V-type domain mediates the interaction with MHCII. |
| Post-transcriptional Modifications | Palmitoylation and association with LCK contribute to the enrichment of CD4 in lipid rafts. Phosphorylated by PKC; phosphorylation at Ser-433 plays an important role for CD4 internalization. |
| Involvement in Disease | Immunodeficiency 79 (IMD79): An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by childhood onset of recurrent and recalcitrant skin warts due to uncontrolled viral infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Some patients may also have recurrent respiratory infections. Laboratory studies show a complete absence of CD4+ T cells. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
